Not for Profit - (Public Square) by Martha C Nussbaum (Paperback)

"Not For Profit: Why Democracy Needs The Humanities" by Martha Nussbaum - This passionate defense of the humanities from one of today's foremost public intellectuals argues that education has gone disturbingly awry in recent years, focusing on profitable skills rather than critical thinking and empathy.

Drawing on stories of educational developments from around the world, Nussbaum offers a manifesto that should be a rallying cry for anyone who cares about the deepest purposes of education.

With a light touch, she introduces readers to the much misunderstood history of progressive education and shows its contemporary relevance.

This short and powerful book is essential reading for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of democracy and human development.
